I was never a fan of his, but when I saw this I decided he’s just not a good person. What a gross thing to do to people who support you. I hope to not have to see him in anything going forward.

Idk man.

I went to the Wiki article, and it’s formatted in a way that basically implies he did the app himself.

Renner explained the shutdown in a goodbye post. “Due to clever individuals that were able to manipulate ways to impersonate me and others within the app, I have asked ESCAPEX, the company that runs this app, to shut it down immediately and refund anyone who has purchased any stars over the last 90 days,” he wrote. Stars are the app’s version of currency. “What was supposed to be a place for fans to connect with each other has turned into a place that is everything I detest and can’t or won’t condone.”

So it’s some company called ESCAPEX. I could put money, but not a lot of it, on them having sold Renner the concept instead of the other way around. Artists always have tons of passive income from things like that, and it seems like it ran pretty smoothly for a few years, until the trolls, and when he found out, he shut it down.

Idk maybe it was his idea and he only shut it down when it became completely uncontrollable idk.

But I don’t know, and definitely haven’t seen enough evidence to say he’s a bad person.

  what kind of logic is that? the guy’s rich and successful, he doesn’t need to take money from people who suck at managing their impulses.

    Capitalism is a shitty broken system built on exploitation, I would really like it to collapse.
    
    That said, if you know the rules of the game, play.
